Steps:
- Cut and seed the pomegranate.
- Thinly slice the shallot. Thinly slice the apple (and toss it with 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar if desired to prevent browning).
- Toast the pecans (don't skip: this brings out the nutty flavor). Alternatively, make glazed pecans.
- Make the Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing or Pomegranate Vinaigrette.
- Place the greens on a platter. Top with the pomegranate seeds, sliced shallot, toasted pecans, and goat cheese or feta cheese crumbles. Toss with the desired amount of dressing to taste. (Store the extra dressing refrigerated and warm to room temperature and whisk again before using.)

Steps:
- For almonds:
- Place foil on work surface. Stir sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Increase heat and boil without stirring until mixture turns deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 9 minutes. Mix in almonds. Immediately pour out onto foil, separating almonds with fork. Cool completely (mixture will harden).
- For salad:
- Boil apple cider in heavy large saucepan until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 23 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl and chill until cold. Add vinegar, onion, mustard and poppy seeds. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Toss greens, cheese and almonds in bowl with enough dressing to coat; serve.
ARUGULA SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND POMEGRANATE
This is a festive salad I served for Thanksgiving this year. I usually make it with my homemade shallot vinaigrette (I always have a jar in the fridge), but you can use any vinaigrette or dressing that you like.
